When completing my dissertation, I used SPSS to assess the data. I graduated in 2009 and haven't done any more research since then. I appreciated the opportunity to review how to calculate descriptive statistics in this manner.

I found this video really helpful. I didn't realize that SPSS had so many features. Thank you for breaking it down in a way that makes sense.

I enjoyed the examples of SPSS. It helps me better understand literature and statistics when reading it. I can see how I would apply it from a clinical aspect.

If i have 5 variables for a construct, I can get the descriptive statistics for each of the 5, but is there a way to get those values for the sum of the 5 variables?
